(overall structure)
The top toy 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a shaft 10, a flywheel 30, and a body 40. This top toy 1 is used in a battle game in which the top toy 1 is disassembled into a shaft portion 10, a flyhole 30, and a body portion 40 as shown in FIG. Is done.

(Detailed configuration)
1. Shaft 10
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the shaft portion 10 includes a lower assembly A including a rotating shaft 11, a hat-shaped body mounting part 12 fixedly installed on the upper part of the lower assembly A, and a body mounting part. 12 and an annular pressing part 13 housed in a vertically movable manner.

The lower assembly A includes a rotating shaft 11, an annular grounding member 16, a rotating shaft holder 15, an interposition member 20, and a frame 14. A rotating shaft 11 and an annular grounding member 16 are provided below the frame body 14, and a rotating shaft holder 15 is installed from above from inside the hole 14 a of the frame body 14, and an interposition is provided on the rotating shaft holder 15. A member 20 is provided.
The rotating shaft holder 15 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and there is a gap between the rotating shaft holder 15 and the upper interposition member 20, and the rotating shaft holder 15 is slidable in the axial direction (vertical direction). I have. The upper end of the rotating shaft holder 15 is formed with a flange 15c that protrudes radially outward. When the rotary holder 15 is lowered, the flange 15c abuts on a step 14b formed on the wall of the hole 14 of the frame 14 (see FIG. 5B). This prevents the rotating shaft holder 15 from falling downward.
As shown in FIG. 5B, a spring 17 is provided between the rotating shaft holder 15 and the interposition member 20, and the rotating shaft holder 15 is attached to the lower side of the frame 14 by the spring 17. It is being rushed.
A spline 15b for attaching the rotating shaft 11 is formed on the wall of the hole 15a at the center of the rotating holder 15.

The rotating shaft holder 15 holds the rotating shaft 11. The lower end surface of the rotating shaft 11 is formed in an inverted conical shape. A spline 11a is formed on the upper portion of the rotating shaft 11, and the spline 11a is press-fitted into a spline 15b of the rotating shaft holder 15. As a result, the rotating shaft 11 is connected to and held by the rotating shaft holder 15. Note that the rotating shaft 11 may be held by a rivet provided on the rotating shaft holder 15.
A flange 11b is formed at the lower end of the rotating shaft 11 so as to project outward in the radial direction. The rotating shaft 11 is inserted into the center hole 16c of the annular ground member 16 from below. A step 16 b is formed on the wall of the hole 16 c of the annular grounding member 16, and the step 16 b is supported by the flange 11 b of the rotating shaft 11.

  The lower end surface of the annular grounding member 16 is formed in an inverted truncated cone shape, and is formed in a dish shape as a whole. The annular ground member 16 is slidably held in the axial direction and the circumferential direction with respect to the rotating shaft 11. A large number of radially extending teeth 16a are formed on the upper surface of the annular portion outside the annular grounding member 16 over the entire circumference. The plurality of teeth 16 form a second meshing portion. On the other hand, a first meshing portion is formed in the frame body 14 at a position facing the second meshing portion, the first meshing portion including a plurality of teeth 14b extending in the radial direction and formed over the entire circumference. The first meshing portion and the second meshing portion mesh when the frame body 14 moves down. By this engagement, the annular grounding member 16 is integrated with the frame 14.

According to the shaft assembly A configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 5 (A), when the top toy 1 is in the normal rotation upright with respect to the playing surface, the rotation of the rotation shaft 11 is in contact with the ground. The frame body 14 is urged by the urging force of the spring 17, and the frame body 14 is at the raised position. In this state, only the lower end of the rotating shaft 11 is in contact with the playing surface. Accordingly, the top toy 1 is easily rotated on the spot.
On the other hand, when the play surface is curved or when the top toy 1 is inclined with respect to the play surface, not only the lower end of the rotating shaft 11 but also the annular ground member 16 is grounded. Even in this state, the frame body 14 is urged by the urging force of the spring 17 against the rotating shaft 11 that is in contact with the ground, and the frame body 14 is in the raised position, so that the annular grounding member 16 is in a rotation-free state. Accordingly, although the inclined toy 1 is supported by the annular grounding member 16, the toy 1 does not move significantly because the annular grounding member 16 is free to rotate with respect to the rotating shaft 11.
On the other hand, when a downward external force acts on the body 40 by the opposing frame toy 1a, the frame 14 descends against the rotating shaft 11 that is in contact with the ground against the urging force of the spring 17. Then, as shown in FIG. 5B, the first meshing portion of the frame 14 meshes with the second meshing portion of the annular grounding member 16, and the lower surface of the annular grounding member 16 and the lower end of the rotating shaft 11 have the same height. Become. At this time, since the frame body 14 is rotating, the annular grounding member 16 is also rotated at the same time. As a result, the portion far from the rotating shaft 11 (the grounding portion of the annular grounding member 16) strongly kicks the playing surface, so that the top toy 1 largely moves around.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the interposition component 20 installed on the rotary shaft holder 15 includes a columnar portion 20a and two L-shaped plates 20b attached to the lower end of the columnar portion 20a. The L-shaped plate 20b is placed on the projection 14c on the inner periphery of the hole 14a of the frame 14. The coupling component 18 is installed on the interposition component 20.

As shown in FIG. 4, the coupling component 18 includes a columnar portion 18a that opens downward, and a strip-shaped plate 18b attached to the lower end of the columnar portion 18a. Each plate 18b is formed with a screw insertion hole 18c. Further, two claws 180a projecting outward in the radial direction are formed above the columnar portion 18a of the coupling component 18.
The coupling component 18 is located immediately above the interposition component 20, and the columnar portion 20 a of the interposition component 20 is fitted into the columnar portion 18 a of the coupling component 18 from below. The plate 18b of the connecting part 18 is fitted into the recess 14d of the frame 14, and when the frame 14 is attached to the body mounting part 12 with screws, the plate 18b is clamped between the frame 14 and the body mounting part 12. Fixed.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the torso mounting part 12 has a cylindrical part 12a and a flange 12b that protrudes radially outward from the lower end of the cylindrical part 12a. Two projections 12c are formed in the diameter direction over the cylindrical portion 12a and the flange 12b, and a hole 12d is formed at a position shifted by 90 degrees in the circumferential direction with respect to the diameter connecting them. An annular pressing component 13 is accommodated in the body mounting component 12 from below.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the annular pressing component 13 is formed by a circumferential wall 13a and an annular ceiling wall 13b. At the lower end of the cylindrical wall 13a, two legs 13c projecting outward in the radial direction are protruded, and notches 13d are formed at two diametrical locations on the inner peripheral surface of the annular ceiling wall 13b. Further, two convex shapes 20 are formed on the annular ceiling wall 13b (see FIG. 3).

  As shown in FIG. 3, the annular pressing component 13 is assembled such that the leg portion 13c is exposed from the corresponding cylindrical portion 12a of the torso mounting component 12 and the hole 12d of the flange 12b. The hole 12d allows the leg 13c to move in the vertical direction, but restricts the upward movement at the upper edge of the hole 12d. As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the annular pressing component 13 is urged upward by a spring 19, and the upper end surface of the annular pressing component 13 is substantially the same as the upper end of the body mounting component 12 in a normal state. Height position.

2. Flywheel 30
The flywheel 30 is formed in an annular shape as shown in FIGS. On the bottom surface of the flywheel 30, an annular step portion 30a for accommodating the flange 12b of the shaft portion 10 is formed. Two projections 31 projecting upward are formed on the upper surface of the flywheel 30. A concave portion 32 for accommodating the protruding portion 12c of the shaft portion 10 is formed in a lower portion of each protruding portion 31. On the upper surface of the flywheel 30, a tongue piece 33 is formed that extends upward just outside each of the protrusions 31. The tongue piece 33 projects above the projection 31.

3. Torso 40
As shown in FIG. 2, the body 40 is formed in a disk shape as a whole. As shown in FIG. 8, a circular recess 40a is formed on the lower surface of the body 40. At the center of the circular recess 40a, a cylindrical wall 41 is formed so as to protrude downward. At the lower end of the cylindrical wall 41, two claws 42 projecting inward are formed. The claws 42 are provided one at each of two locations facing each other with the axis interposed therebetween, and a notch 43 is formed between the claws 42. On the lower surface of the claw 42 at the rear end in the rotation direction of the top toy 1, an undulating portion 44 composed of a plurality of teeth extending in the radial direction is formed.

  As shown in FIG. 9, as shown in FIG. 9, the body 40 includes a shaft connecting member 45 constituting a lower layer, an annular fixed body 46 installed on the shaft connecting member 45, and a circumferential direction of the fixed body 46. And three movable members 47 attached at equal intervals to each other, and a disk-shaped surface cover 50 for closing a central hole of the fixed body portion 46. A plurality of metal parts are attached to the fixed body 64 by caulking at equal intervals in the circumferential direction.

The shaft connecting member 45 is formed of metal or plastic. The shaft connecting member 45 is a hill 45a whose central portion is one step higher than its periphery. A cylindrical wall 41 is formed on the lower surface of the hill 45a. The fixed body 46 is formed of metal or plastic. The fixed trunk 46 is provided with a plurality of fixed blades (collision portions) 46a in the circumferential direction. The movable member 47 is swingable about a shaft 46d that is fitted to the rivet 46b at a middle portion in the longitudinal direction. As shown in FIG. 11A, one arm 47a of the movable member 47 forms a movable blade (collision portion) 48, and at least the collision portion of the movable blade 48 has a larger frictional force than the fixed blade 46a. It is formed of a friction material such as rubber. The friction material may be hard, but may be soft and elastic. The other arm 47b of the movable member 47 constitutes a weight, and is set so that the moment around the axis 46c is larger than that of the arm 47a. The movable member 47 swings so that the collision portion protrudes radially outward from the fixed blade 46a of the fixed body portion 46 (FIG. 11B) and the retracted position radially inward (FIG. 11A). )) And take. In other words, the colliding portion of the movable blade 48 is swung by the movable member 47 so that the first position outside the minimum enclosing circle circumscribing the colliding portion of the fixed blade 46a about the axis of the top toy 1 and the inward first Take two positions.
A spring 49 for urging the arm 47b inward in the radial direction is provided between the arm 47b of the movable member 47 and the fixed body portion 46. When the top toy 1 is rotating at a high speed, the arm 47b moves outward in the radial direction against the urging force of the spring 49 due to the action of the centrifugal force, and the collision surface is moved from the fixed blade 46a of the fixed body 46. When the top toy 1 is rotating at a low speed, the urging force of the spring 49 overcomes the centrifugal force and the arm 47b moves inward in the radial direction. Operate more radially outward than the fixed blade 46a. Although a coil spring is used here as the spring 49, a torsion spring may be wound around the shaft 46d, and one end of the torsion spring may be hung on the movable member 47 and the other end may be hung on the fixed body 46. . By doing so, the spring can be made invisible from the outside, and the spring is less likely to come off.

According to the top toy 1 having the body 40 configured as described above, the following operational effects can be obtained.
That is, when the top toy 1 is rotating at a high speed, the collision portion of the fixed blade 46a having a small frictional force collides with the countertop toy. At this time, even if it comes into contact with the other party's top toy, loss of rotational energy can be suppressed to a small level.
On the other hand, when the top toy 1 is rotating at low speed, the top of the movable toy 48 collides with the top toy of the other party at the collision portion of the movable blade 48 having a large frictional force. At this time, the collision portion of the movable blade 48 strongly grips the body of the opposing toy. As a result, when the opponent's top toy rotating in the opposite direction has a relatively higher rotation speed than its own top toy 1, the rotational energy of the opponent's top toy 1 is effectively reduced by the rotational energy of its own top toy 1. It can be.
Such an effect at the time of low-speed rotation is exhibited particularly when the friction material has softness and elasticity. That is, when the friction material is soft and elastic, the friction material is deformed upon collision and the contact time with the opponent's top toy is increased, so that the impulse increases, and the opponent's top toy More rotational energy can be obtained.

(Assembly method of top toy 1)
The projection 10c of the shaft 10 is aligned with the recess 32 of the flywheel 30 from below, and the shaft 10 and the flywheel 30 are assembled in a fitted state. Next, the assembled body is brought closer to the body 40 from below.
Then, the tongue piece 33 of the flywheel 30 is inserted from below into one end of the arc-shaped slit 46c of the body 40 (see FIG. 10). In this state, the claw 180a of the shaft portion 10 and the notch 43 of the body portion 40 are aligned vertically. This state is the uncoupled state. Thereafter, the shaft 10 of the assembled body is pressed toward the body 40. Then, first, the flywheel 30 is pressed against the lower surface of the body 40. Further, the annular pressing member 13 is lowered against the urging force of the spring 19 in the shaft portion 10, and the claw 180 a of the shaft portion 10 is relatively pushed up above the claw 42 of the body portion 40. Then, the claw 42 of the body 40 sneaks under the claw 180 a of the shaft 10. When the shaft 10 is rotated integrally with the flywheel 30 in a predetermined direction (the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the top toy 1), the claws 180a and the claws 42 are vertically overlapped. Then, when the hand is released from the shaft portion 10, the lower surface of the claw 180 a of the shaft portion 10 and the upper surface of the claw 42 of the body portion 40 are contacted by the urging force of the spring 19 in the shaft portion 10. This state, that is, the state in which the lower surface of the claw 180a of the shaft portion 10 and the upper surface of the claw 42 of the body portion 40 are in contact with each other is a combined state (see FIG. 12). As a result, the ridges 20 and the undulating portions 44 mesh with each other, and the top toy 1 is assembled.

(How to play, etc.)
Next, an example of how to play using the top toy 1 will be described.
The top toy 1 fired by the launcher that applies the rotational urging force by using the arc-shaped slit 46c is rotated in a predetermined direction on a predetermined play surface and collides with the opponent's top toy. A force is applied to the portion 40 in a direction opposite to the rotation direction of the shaft portion 10 and the flywheel 30, thereby causing the body portion 40 to move in a direction opposite to the rotation direction of the shaft portion 10 and the flywheel 30. To rotate. Then, the undulating portion 44 on the lower surface of the trunk 40 and the ridge 20 change the meshing position as the shaft 10 rotates relative to the trunk 40. When the uncoupling position is reached, the notch 43 of the body 40 is aligned with the claw 180a of the shaft 10 so that the locking is released, and the urging force of the spring 19 in the shaft 10 causes the body 40 to move. Depart from. At the same time, the flywheel 30 is separated from the shaft 10 by the urging force of the spring 19.

11 (B), the movable blade 48 is oscillated counterclockwise by the urging force of the spring 49 at a certain rotational speed or lower. Is in a state of protruding outward from the fixed blade 46a of the toy 1. When the rotation speed of the top toy 1 exceeds a predetermined rotation speed, as shown in FIG. 11A, the movable member 47 is swung clockwise by the centrifugal force, so that the movable blade 48 is more inward than the fixed blade 46a. Evacuate toward
That is, at the time of high-speed rotation at the beginning of rotation, the rigid fixed body portion 46 comes into contact with the counterpart toy, and at the time of low-speed rotation at the end of rotation, the soft and elastic movable blade 48 comes into contact with the counterpart toy.

  Further, according to the top toy 1 of the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, when a downward force acts on the body 40 due to the collision of the opposing top toy 1 a, as shown in FIG. The first meshing portion of the body 14 meshes with the second meshing portion of the annular grounding member 16, and the annular grounding member 16 rotates together with the frame 14. Then, since the bottom surface of the annular grounding member 16 strongly kicks the playing surface, the top toy 1 revolves around a large arc as shown in FIG. Therefore, it is possible to instantly separate from the opponent's top toy 1a and avoid the influence of the opponent's top toy 1a.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the blade 48 having the larger frictional force is operated, but the blade 46a having the smaller frictional force may be operated while being moved. Further, the blade 48 having a large frictional force and the blade 46a having a small frictional force may be integrated to perform a seesaw operation about a predetermined axis.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the rotating shaft 11 is projected from the annular grounding member 16, but the rotating shaft may be immersed in the annular grounding member 16 when the frame body 14 is lowered. Such a structure can be realized, for example, by inserting a spring between the rotating shaft 11 and the annular grounding member 16.
